Privacy policy

Thanks for visiting King's Church International. This policy explains the what, how, and why of the information we collect when you attend a King's Church International event and/or use any of our services. It also explains the specific ways we use and disclose that information. We take your privacy extremely seriously, and we never sell contact details or email addresses.

THE BASICS

1. Definitions

We’ll start by getting a few definitions out of the way that should help you understand this policy. When we say “we,” “us,” and “KCI,” we’re referring to King's Church International, Registered Charity 1039958. We provide events and digital services collectively known as "Services" that you may participate or opt-in to. When we say “you” or “Member,” we’re referring to the person or entity that’s registered with us to attend an event or use our Services. A “People List” is a list of contact details that one of our Members has connected, or intends to connect with our Events or Services. We may combine information about you with other Members and People Lists to create ”Aggregate Information,” which may include, but isn’t limited to, names, email addresses, family groups, demographic information, and location.

We offer events on our websites http://www.kcionline.org, http://www.g12uk.com, http://destiny.training, http://kingshouseschool.org.uk, and http://kingschurchinternational.eventbrite.com (each a “Website” and together the “Websites”). While providing Services, we may collect Personal Information, which means information about a User.

European Safe Harbor

We only store online data on tools and services that are certified with Safe Harbor, a EU-led international privacy protection agreement.

2. Changes

If there are any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll post them on the Website and send them to the last email address you gave us. Any changes will be effective as of the date we post them on the Website or send the email (whichever date is later). You may object to any changes within 20 days after they’re posted on our Website or delivered to you, in which case none of the proposed changes will be effective with respect to information that we’ve already collected from you, but will apply only to information we collect in the future. If you object to changes in our Privacy Policy, we’ll have to remove your details from our database.

3. Scope

This Privacy Policy is effective with respect to any data that we’ve collected, or collect, about and/or from you.
